On the Design:

A dark brown underscores a rich field design, with mirrored floral patterns in colorful earthy tones in the entire design and borders alike.

Keen eyes will further admire the celebrated floral motifs like those in Chinoiserie rugs as well as similar oriental provenances often considered to be of the Chinese Deco aesthetic.

This asymmetrical arrangement reflects the profound influence of French Art Deco on Shanghai's workshops during the 1920s, when Chinese weavers began moving away from classical symmetrical compositions.

What also marks this as a superior example of the 1920s is its sophisticated restraint—the intentional use of negative space allows each botanical element to emerge with clarity.

It is in the most exceptional color and a great size suited to wider spaces—as versatile for interior design as it is collectible for admirers of this provenance.

Condition:

This vintage Chinese rug further enjoys an overall good condition for its age and origin. See less
